Hey people!

Been a while since i posted here so i figured id share some pics of this gem i picked up a few weeks back.
Its a 99 SC400 Pearl white with tan(eww) interior. I plan to change the interior out to black eventually
Anyway here are some pics. Let me know what you guys think and let me know what are some of the basic mods you guys would do to it.

 

Vteruni - am moving this to the Build Thread . Anything about one's cars not unless it is a DIY should be at that sub-forum. We want every info about someone cars all in one thread and not scattered all over the place so all people would do if they want to find out anything about your car(s) is search your Build Thread . If you want me to change the title let me know.

Good Luck on your new car , it is nice !

 

Thanks Gerrb!
I wasn't really trying to make a build thread, It was more of a introduction of the new car but if that's still considered to be a build thread then my mistake for putting it in the wrong section.

 

Clean!!!!!!!!! where in Florida are you?

 

ok i know im about a year late for responding but i completely forgot about this tread. I'm in South-West Florida. lol

 

Figured id update on the progress of the car. Got some lower control arms for the front a little while back and got those replaced so the front is nice and tight now.

Refinished headlights using Meguires 2 step cleaner, $20 well spent and still got plenty left for fogs.

New rims painted in Hypersilver. Love the color but unfortunately wasnt able to match all 4 perfectly because the fronts came in hypersilver and the rears i had to try to match. Will have to redo all 4 with hypersilver powdercoat next time i need tires. The tires on there right now are Firestone Indy 500 225/45/18 front 245/40/18 rear.

 

Absolutely gorgeous! Miss my white 400. Love the wheel choice.

 

Really clean car! Wish mine was that clean! Good luck on your build!

 

you picked up a nice one. you're off to a great start so far

 

Thanks guys, Ill try to keep this updated a bit more as i get more stuff done to the car. The next thing i plan to do to the car is getting the transmission fluid changed which will also eliminate the trans leak that i have in the pan seal. Im thinking of either putting amsoil into it or taking it to the dealer and having them do it with the toyota fluids and having them be responsible if it starts to slip. Which do you think would be the best option.

 

Vteruni that is cleaaaaaaaan I have the 350z wheels to : )

 

Woo~ that's clean! Are you gonna sell the OE wheels? I'm also looking for the tanned seat belts (only if they retracts fast)

 

Thanks! no plans to sell the OEM wheels as of yet but maybe in the future. The seatbelt retract painfully slow and not all the way so i intend on finding a way to fix that once the interior is swapped lol. I do plan on putting up a set of SSR GT3s for sale, gotta get them out of storage, clean em up and take some pics but you guys will see it fairly soon.

 

HIDS!
Got a set a few days a go. Cost me $60 from Amazon and had them here within 5 days. Installation was super easy, it actually took me more time to figure out where to put the ballasts then actually wiring everything up.

Nice upgrade. When I bought mine the one thing the previous owner had done was go HID lowbeams and fogs. I fought it at first, but ended up loving it.
